Cant figure out how to write an if statement for combobox

[iNko]

Hello, i have a form witch has 3 ComboBoxes 1 TextField and 1 TextArea.

These ComboBoxes have values, but the first value in each box is a blank value (i made it this way).
I need to check in my if statement, if even one value from these combo boxes are set for the first value (blank one).

For textfield i just check like this - 'if (textfield.getText().isEmpty()'. Will this work for TextArea aswell? (i mean the isEmpty part).

To get the selected item from JComboBox you can use getSelectedItem(). If your JComboBox items are strings can cast object returned by the getSelectedItem() method to string.

Thanks, it works.

Used like this:

if (combobox.getSelectedItem().equals(" ")){
}

(My first item is " ")

Or if you're on Java SE 7 you can use Generics and have no need for casting.
